Competition between crystal and fibril formation in molecular mutations of amyloidogenic peptides

Aggregation of amyloidogenic peptides into fibrils and crystals has incidence in several amyloid-related diseases. Here, the authors investigate the origins of the fibril-to-crystal conversion in amyloidogenic hexapeptides pointing to the amyloid crystals as the ground state in the protein folding e...

Sumario:Aggregation of amyloidogenic peptides into fibrils and crystals has incidence in several amyloid-related diseases. Here, the authors investigate the origins of the fibril-to-crystal conversion in amyloidogenic hexapeptides pointing to the amyloid crystals as the ground state in the protein folding energy landscape.
